Generally using adherent numbers instead of a general take of comparing with others and pondering how they know “better” is a bad argument.
Yes, it's a logical fallacy:

Aren’t they culturally determined? I don’t generally hear about a little Baptist boy  in Houston hearing the Hindu Gods in heaven speaking Sanskrit.
I suppose I was arguing more from an argument of religious feeling than religious experience. But it does seem that such experiences obviously have some correlation with culture. This is not a strong indicator of anything except that more and more people must be accused of irrational delusions for the materialist to be correct.

There isn't any argument, we can believe whatever you want to, as God is this extraterrestrial life that gave us life and our love ones can be reincarnated in 300/400 yrs from now until there is a Rapture

So, many people once we’re scared of eclipsed yet even medieval Europeans knew it was just a shadow(of the moon or the Earth).

The same people who worship Jeebus today are the same exact people who will bow down feverishly before Lord Xenu and his Holy Volcano Virgins under the banner of Scientology in about 400 years once the Abrahamic religions have gotten stale and lost their luster.

Or whatever cult happens to emerge politically victorious.
 
Therein is the argument.

This is one of two arguments: 1) people were once afraid of eclipses, they were wrong, therefore many people could be wrong now; 2) eclipses are an illusion, therefore other things can be illusions, therefore these are all illusions.

Pirate ships could counter global warming according to the Pastafarians, a new religion formed a couple of decades ago.
